Who We Are
DSUP formed in the fall of 2006 to address the needs and concerns of our doctoral students. Our organization works with the department to promote opportunities for doctoral students in research, teaching, and funding. We also raise awareness on campus and in the community about how our research makes an impact in the urban and regional planning field.
